In the House of Lords last night the Earl of RIPON took advantage of a motion for a return of the expenditure of the Irish Ecclesiastical Commission, to arraign the policy of the Government in not more actively supporting the temporal interests of the Protestant Church in Ireland. The Noble Earl referred with much self-complacency to his own Ministerial doings in 1833 ; and bewailed with be coming earnestness and decorum the impiety of those who regarded anything connected with the Irish branch of the Church Establishment as a " grievance." There were no fewer than 46.5 livings in Ireland, the incomes of which varied from 304 to 2001. a year—a lamentable proof of the destitution of the Irish Church, as well as a powerful induce ment to Ministers to try what might be done to increase, rather than diminish, the Church Temporalities in the Sis ter Country. Parliamentary Protestantism consists of a spire, a glebe, and the tenth of the parish produce. The piety of a district is tested by the weight of the Rector's stron g box. Where the tithe-collector has no difficulty in gathering into the ecclesiastical granary the tenth sheaf, the tenth potatoe, and the tenth p;g, there religion is sure to be in a flourishin g condition, though the village Sabbath may never have been gladdened by the chimes of a Church bell. It is, moreover, one of the peculiarities of Con servative Protestantism to act upon the principle, that though Church livings may he too poorly, they can never be too richly endowed. We are often re minded of the number of Church-livings in Ireland under two hundred pounds a-year ; but we never hear a syllable about those whose income exceeds as many thousands. Neither are we told how many of these small livings are not held by rich- pluralists—how many of them j cannot boast of a Protestant parishioner—though they ma have Ch urc h es w hi c h are never opened ; while the Catholiei who are taxed to keep them in repair are often, from their extreme poverty, obliged to worship GOD under the wide leanopy of Heavon. We have ourselves often witnesse Ilineh a spectacle ; and therefore, before bewailing th poverty of an Irish Church-living, we should like to kno whether it imposes any clerical duty upon the rev. recipi. ent of even the paltry sum of 1501. per annum. The smalle annuity is handsome when there happens to be nothin odo for it. B u t a d m i tt i ng that a few livings in Ireland Eire too small, the remedy is as simple as it is obvious.! Take from the fat pluralists—th e rich absentees in lawn, and make up the deficiency in the present incomes of the working clergy. Where there are Churches without con gregations let the buildings be sold, and the livings conso lidated. The experience of two centuries ought to sa tisfy Parliament that no endowment of the Irish Protestant Church will ever have the effect of changing the religious opinions of the Irish people. The cause of this is plain enough. The Protestant Clergy have no motive to trouble themselves about the religious instructing of the mass of the people. They are as well paid for doing nothing as they could expect to be were each of them charged with the care of fifty thousand souls. As COBBETT used truly to observe, few men who can help it ever think of working, and the rule is as applicable to parsons as agricultural labourers. Lord MEL- Bo UR N E, in agreeing to the motion, taunted the Conservative Peers with having prevented the previews settlement of the Church question on terms more favourable than could now be obtained, and distinctly stated that the Cabinet would not be guided in its conduct by the advice of its political opponents. We shall look to the future conduct of the Government for proofs of the sincerity of this declaration, and right glad shall we be to have many occasions of re cording them. The avoidance of Tory councils is all that is wanted to ensure the safety of the Cabinet. Th Ie present plan of deciding questions of Controverted Elections gave rise to another scene of scandal and another question of privilege last night, in the House of Commons. Our readers are aware that a Report of an Election Com mittee has unseated Mr. PoourEa, who has repreiented Shaftesbury in several Parliaments, and has seated in his room a Captain M.ITHEw • Losers are privileged to com plain ; but Mr. POULTER, who is said to be a Gentleman of rather an irritable disposition, and who probably has a large share of the general mistrust and gereral contempt of Election Committees, scorns to have allowed his privilege to carry him into conflict Ivith the privileges of the House, and for the present fLey have got the upper hand, and he has been order.Ato appear at the h g run Monday, to answer forhis lang;:lage. Mr. Pot; LTRtipoured out his vexation in a letter to IhO electors of Shaftesbury, which appeared in the Jforning nroriiek yesterday amongst the advertisements, and which Mr. BLACKiiroNa, a Member of the Shaftesbury Com mittee, thought it his duty to bring under the notice of the Howe. We will not excuse Mr. Pot•LTEe's language. It i certainly being much too irritable to speak of having been an/witted "by an unprincipled combination." Several ma jorities of Election Committees have behaved so extremely bad that Mr. POULTER, we are sure, is not warranted in describing the majority which unseated him as the " most corrupt that ever degraded the administratio n of justice, and the name of the Commons of England." That imputes a degree of culpability of which we are unwilling to believe Mr. BLACKSTONE and his colleagues capable, and he did rightld'eraltavour to exonerate himself and them from so heavy a charge. No gentleman can be expected to tolerate c\iiip ttiom o f being the blackest of the black. But -r,:if Itliiikd . still stronger language. He said of the Mari i cif this iitiost corrupt Committee, that their " ig --__,.. ic t , :.: garance was :seennl only to their corruption," and nobody ...! parctOuS an iPsuite-o his talents, however regardless he 1, ._~~i'; ~► -• v:IP7 . i. 4}-• Zhe aim+ nto;F IA?. of his moral character. Moreover Mr: riatil.tEtt that by what he called a aanst corrupt and igno rant majority, my " twit *as its completely filched from me as ever a litlfge was stolen from n pernn oh the highway." The gentlemen of the dense of Commons, who make severe laws against illthing purses, must have been keenly itensible to this unpleasant comparisrn ) AA probably felt almost as much anger as Mr. POULTER himself. The crowning passage, 110 a -ever, of his address, was Otis t--" It het seem to me that I have been made the victim or a aegree of iniquity, compared with which the irregular acts of oil former Committees may fairly claim to stand excused." To be more iniquitous than the Hull, Dublin, (last ses sion) Ipswich and other electier, Committees, is enormous guilt, and we approve of ivlr. BLACKSTONE shaking it off his shoulders: Another circumstance, width that gen den-teal seems to hive felt very nitwit, was the possibility that Mr. FOULTER wrote his letter on the Sabbath-day ; at least he nursed his anger all through one Sunday, and having a character for saintship, that was no doubt reckoned to him as an aggravation of his offence : " The letter said Mr. BLACKSTONE purported to he written on the 4th of April. It was not written under the excitement of the moment, and even the Sabbath-day intervened between the knowledge of the determination of the Committee and Mr. l'oeurna's writing the letter." Tohave written such a very angry letter on the Sabbath was very wrong indeed in Mr. POULTER ; and Mr. BLACKSTONE, who made a moderate and judicious speech in bringing the subject under the no tice of the House, acted properly in condemning it. After he bad made his complaint, Mr. ELLIOT, who had been a Member of the Shaftesbury Committee, gave some explanation of' its conduct, which he happily characterised as an " honest perversion of justice." He found the evi dence produced so strong, that on it, he said, " in a case of murder he would have hanged a man ;" but the majo rity, from the most proper and honest motives, took a dif ferent view, and " perverted justice honestly." Captain MATHEW, the winning Candidate, very kindly made a sort of apology for Mr. PouLTER, and requested the House to carry the matter no further. Lord WoasLEY wished the sub ject postponed, till the evidence taken before the Committee was printed ; but that was resisted. Mr. O ' CONNELL thought there was no occasion to bring the printer to the bar, as Mr. POULTER would certainly avow the letter ; but that suggestion was overruled, lest the letter should be a bad hoax, to which some person had forged the name of the irritated loser. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his approbation of Mr. Pot: urea for not sheltering his charge under an anonymous communication, and then the House agreed to Mr. BLACKSTONE'S motion. On Monday the late Member for Shaftesbury will appear at the bar, to an swer for complaining of an Election Committe in too strong language. What the House will do with him, after it has been obliged to submit to charges of perjury, delibe rately urged and repeated within its own walls, we cannot conjecture ; but we presume the most trifling apology will be gladly accepted, that the House may escape from the business. We pity the Commons, who seem, on the subject of Controverted Elections, to be something like a man who is by " habit and repute" a thief, and who is obliged to bear all kinds of contumely, lest an appeal to a Court should confirm the public verdict., and bring on him punishment into the bargain. Their once great and ter rible privileges, the bugbear of public writers, seem prac tically to have fallen almost into desuetude ; and they dare not act on them, even when the strongest accusations are made against them, lest they kindle the public indignation. Truth and justice are in fact more powerful than privilege ; and those who habitually violate them, must patiently bear taunts and insults. To several questions asked by Mr. HALL last night re specting the projected alterations in the rate of postage, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the reduction of the 4d. postage had been carried into effect— that the 3d. postage was to be reduced to =2.d.—and that when he was ready to introduce the use of stamped covers, he gave it up at the suggestion of its friends in the House, who said that it would be an unfair trial of the plan. If we are not mistaken, the friends of Mr. HILL'S plan proposed that, as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was averse to the sweeping reduction of the present rate of postage to Id. per half ounce for all distances short or long, it would be best to try the experiment first with the Two penny Post-office, and if the result should prove favourable to the revenue, then the penny system might be adopted in the General Post-office. Now this is a very dif ferent thing from the scheme of the CHANCELLOR. " I have no objection," said the Right Hon. Gentleman (" to try your plan ; lot us have the :tamped covers by all means ; and as to the payment in advance, it is quite de lightful." But the part of the plan upon which its whole efficacy depended, namely, the reduction of the postage to a single penny, was unfortunately omitted. The stamped covers, and twopence in advance, was the experiment by which Mr. SPRING RICE would have tested the produc tiveness of Mr. HILL'S plan, and the consequence would have been, had it been carried through, that it would have failed. For the only effect produced would have been to make the writer of a letter pay the postage instead of the receiver—a condition by no means calculated to increase letter-writing, unless a bribe be administered in the shape of greatly reduced postage. To give Mr. HILL'S pro posal fair play, as applied to the Twopenny Post-office, the postage ought to be reduced to a halfpenny or even a farthing. But whether the plan be tried in the first instance in the ( Twopenny Post-office or not, one thing is certain—the present rate of postage must be very greatly reduced, and that without delay. The public have had facts laid before them demonstrating not only the practicability, but the int ense advantages, moral, political, and even financial, of uch a reduction ; they have taken up the question, not _ astily and passionately, but coolly and de:iberately, after caring all that was to be said on bath sides—if the question an be sail to have more than one side—and having deter ined that their interests and their wishes shall be con ulted in the matter, they wait for the report of Ir. WALLACE'S Committee now sitting, more as a pro ' eeding of form than a 3 necessary to sanction the altera ion about to take place. Why the Committee should sit ith closed doors it is not easy to conjecture, on any other upposition than that they have made up their minds upon he subject, and want no ad litional evidence. For surely here can be no secrets connected with this investigation, "nd had the evidence been allowed to be published daily in mall portions, it is sufficiently obvious that it would have attracted infinitely more attention,and consequently produced - Quell more benefit, than when it comes out in a huge volume that fey can have access to, and still fewer courage to wade through. In the meantime, let us ponder over one or two " They are such as must come home to the mind even of the most unreflecting person. How, we ask, is it to be accounted for that, while the commercial transactions of this country have increased so enormously within the last 20 years, and while population and education have also been greatly augmented, there has been no increase in'the num ber of letters sent through the Post-office ? How comes it, ilso, that the revenue of the French Post-office, where the postage is much lower than with us, has increased one-gal since the year 1821 ? And, lastly, is it not somewhat extral ordinary, that the revenue of the Post -office in the United States, where the postage is still lower than in France, has been more than tripled during the 20 years, that ours has been at a stand still ? 'acts. The King of IT4Novg4 his followed up the expulsion of the seven Profe ssors , w ith an e di ct i n per f ect consi.tency with that arbitrary and unjust act. These men were driven From Gottingen because they would not take a false oath. Several of them have since been appointed to chairs at Leipzic, and a number of the students who had studied under them, and were desirous to complete their course under the same masters, had followed them to that Uni versity. But this King ERNEST will not permit, and he has accordingly issued an order prohibiting all Hanoverians from studying at Leipzic, and recalling all those who may be there for that purpose. Those stu. dents, therefore, who had proceeded to that place must either return, or relinquish their rights as Hanoverians ; for su , th is the character of the man, and such is his idea of kingly power, that his next step would be to make them outlaws, and deprive them of whatever property they may be entitled to in that blessed country. Even the purest despot, educated in a camp, and ignorant of constitutional liberty, would not, in the nineteenth century, commit such an outrage on public feeling as has been committed by the brother of WILLIAM IV., and the heir Presumptive to the British throne. Only another edict is wanting to make THE SUN, LONDON, SATUnDAY, APRIL 7, isig. the tyrannical act complete—to include the seven pro. foss-,rs ) And declare that on pain of forfeiture of property, they shall not teach out of the kingdom "of Hanover: This probably will follow : With th e army to support:. trkisting to the sanction o r em r. : , and Prussia, 1 ;ance of Russia, Austria, l oclieveo he can make his With law, and seems determined. to ftVehp, the tinroPtunate Ilefdfmers of liatioVer ) the insiAltg heaped upon him N. the Reformers urtht.t Country No wonder that the iittipie a the United Kingdom adorn tho reigning Sovereign! The Visiting Justices of the Middlesex County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, at Hanwell, have this morning, at the Sessions-House, Clerkenwell-green, elected Dr. MILIAN ut:N, the learned author of " Curiosities of Medical Ex perience," to be the resident Physician, Mrs. BARNARD as Matron, and Mr. HUNT to be the House St , ward in that establishment. These three appointments are worth fifteen hundred pounds per annum. The Paris Journals of Thursday have been received. The Munitcur conta'ns the following official bulletin : " BA YONNE, APRIL 3, HALF-PAST 3, P.Nf. " On the 20th and 21st General Borso attacked Cabrera, who was besieging Lucena with 13 battalions and seven pieces of artillery, and forced him to raise the siege. Ba silio was on the 28:h before Ciudad Real, and Hinter at Coniuegra. Espartero was on the 27th at Palencia, and the Carlest expedition on the 26th at Fresno de Rodilla. The Committee has unanimously adopted the Bill on the loan." A letter from Toulon, of the 31st ult., states that the French authorities in Africa have resolved upon the occu pation of Stora. No resistance was anticipated, but to provide against the worst a column of two thousand men were to leave Constantine, supported by three armed steamers, a number of small vessels, a quantity of pro visions, and a good park of artillery. It was the opinion of the writer that France had resolved upon retain ing Constantine, however brilliant might be the offers made for its restoration by the Ex-BET. We know not what degree of credit to attach to the fol lowing extract from a letter of the 25th ult. from Vienna, which appears in the columns of the Constitutionnel. The subject is one of very great importance : " Our Cabinet is alarmed at the news which it has recently received from Servia. Prince Milosch, who is attempting to form an union of the Slavonic populations, has demanded from the Grand Seignor the title of King of Servia. The Em peror, immediately on this being known, appointed Major- General Philipovich Consul-General at Kragiovitz, giving him as assistant M. Miganovitch, a very clever man, and high in the confidence of Prince Metternich. The appointment of a General officer to a post which has always been considered a secondary one proves the interest which Austria takes in the projects of Prince Milosch, and so much the more since Russia will probably try to further these projects, in the hopes of finally sowing discord among the Slavonians, and subjecting them to her yoke. If England and France would send agents into Servia, they would give an awkward blow to the alliance of the North." By a Royal Proclamation of the 28th ult., the King of HatiovEa forbids, under heavy penalties, any of his sub jects studying at Leipsic ; and such students from Hanover as are entered there arc commanded to return immediately to their native country. It is a thousand pities that talents for government, such as King ERNEST'S, have not more than a tenth-rate principality in which to display them selves. ERNEST struts it to perfection ; but, closely exa mined, he appears as ridiculously put up as the repre sentative of RICHARD 111. at a penny theatre. The Czar ought to take him into partnership. The following are extracts from the Papers : " NEWS FROM CIRCASMA.—A letter from Odessa, of Feb. 24, has the following accounts :—The letters which we have just received from Georgia state, that the Circassians have recommenced hostilities, and have already captured a convoy near Wladicauxas. There is no apprehension of their in tending to carry on war, or adopt the European tactics ; on the contrary, there is every reason to believe that they will continue to carry on war in their old .fashion. Lieutenant- General Gotovin has given orders to double the posts on the military lines of the Terik and the Kuban, and is resolved, when the snow is melted, to make an excursion into the mountains, which separate Inieritix from them. It is not believed that this expodition will lead to any result favourable to the Russians ; but General Gotovin is in some measure obliged to undertake it, in order to make himself known to the mountaineers, who seem to care as little for his presence as they did for that of General Rosen, his predecessor. Rear Admiral Hrouchoff, a very active man, has been ap pointed Chief of the Staff of the Black Sea Fleet, and re ceived orders to superintend the blockade of the coast of Abasia. The choice of this officer shows the importance of the war in Circassia, in the opinion of the Emperor Nicholas. This war may, in fact, become fatal to Russia, in consequence of the appearance of a member of the family of the Gerais (formerly Sovereigns of the Crimea) among the Avarian Tartars a very warlike tribe, which has risen against Russia. Thor Government of Russia justly fears the revolt of a people sub. ject to its dominion more than the Circassian war itself, as this war is in some sort a focus of insurrection ; for a great number of tribes conquered by Russia, that power employs all its efforts to terminate it.

MURDER-ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BIRMINGHAM, FRlDAY.—Thisafternoon an inquest was held before W. H. Whgatley, Esq., upon the body of Mr. Joseph Davenport, publican, of Little Hampton -street, who was shot through the head in the shop of Mr. Batkin, ironmonger, Snow-hill, on Wednesday evening last. The murderer, William Devey, resided in the same street, and had for years been upon i n ti mate terms w i t h the deceased. At the late War wick Assizes an action was brought by Mr. Rowley, of New Hail -street, against Devey, for having seduced a servant from . his employ. De ve y was cast i n mo d erate d amages, b ut f rom t h e cir cumstance of deceased being at Warwick (although unconnected with the trial), and acquainted with all the parties, together with the supposition that he had advised a Gas Company to distrain for the amount of a quarter's gas, the mind of Devey was aggravated, and he took this method of revenging him self. Mr. Davenport has left a widow, but no children; Devey a wife and one child. It appears from the evidence given before the Coroner that Devcy went into Mr. I3alkin's shop a little after seven o'clock in the evening, and there encountering Mr. Davenport, shot him with a pistol, being so determined that the first at tempt failing he made a second, and shot Mr. Daven port, as he was endeavouring to escape, through the head Mr. Davenport died instantly. The assassin afterwards and before he could be arrested, made an attempt to cut his. own throat with a shoemaker's knife, but was prevented from, completing his purpose. Tf:o Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Devey, who was conveyed to the hospital. ATIONAL EDUCATION.—A highly respectable meeting of the schoolmasters of the metropolis was held on Wednesday evening last, at the s c h oo l- room of Mr. Higgins, Naughton-street, Strand, to consider and adopt the most effectual means for protecting their professional interests, which Lord Flrougliam's National Educttion Bill is calculated to destroy. The meeting was addressed by the ROY. James Allen, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Stancliffe, and other gentlemen, who, whilst they disclaimed all factious opposition to the Bill on the ground of the additional taxation which the measure will entail upon our already overtaxed country, drew a lumi nous picture of the melancholy consequences which must re sult to the profession at large, for whom no provision what. ever is made by the Bill, and of whom many are utterly inca pacitated by age, affliction, and other causes, from engaging in any new employment with the least hope of SUCCES.S. After an able refutation of the unfounded aspersions, and sweeping condemnation of the profession, made by the Committee of the Stgliatical Society, the meeting resolved itself into a Central Committee, for the purpose of watching the progress of the measure, and of urging upon the notice of the Legisla ture, their just claims to employment under the provisions set forth :n the Biil, or compensation for the loss they must thereby necessarily sustain. A pilgrim has appeared in different parts of the country who declaims against intolerance, bigotry, and super stition, but recommends Christian unity, discipline, and that species of enthusiasm without which no noble purpose has been ever yet achieved. Ho says mankind are now so lost in the pursuit of riches, power, fame, and pleasure, that few fulfil the ends for which they were ordained; that this is the reign of folly, violence, and error ; and that it will be succeeded, he ex pects, by that of wisdom, peace, and truth. On Thursday an Inquest was held before C. J. Car tar, Esq., at the Green Man, Plumstead, Kent, on the body of a new born infant. The village was thrown into a state of great excitement from the circumstance of its being publicly reported that the mother had murdered the child. The jury, after a minute investigation, returned, arid the foreman gave in the following verdict :—" Wilful Murder against Mary Ann Leaver." The Coroner then issued his warrant for her com mittal to Maidstone gaol ; but owivg to her being unable to be removed, she was ordered to be kept in the workhouse till her recovery, where she now remains. The parties were all bound over to give evidence: MAItKETS.-(111Ig DAY).

Lord 8E YMOUR appeared at the Bat, anti reported that the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return for the Borough of Leicester, had come to the resolution that John Easthope, Esq., and Samuel puck worth, Esq., were duly elected, and ought to have been re turned, and that neither the petition of Joseph Knight and others, nor the opposition thereto were frivolous nor vexatious THE WEEK. Our daily reports of this market will have shown that very little busi ness has been done ; 1,500 hhds. of B. P. Sugar have been sold. We quote no variation in the prices of any kind of Raw orslatefined Sugar from those of last week. Coffee unaltered, but drooping in price, and exceedingly little business done. Tea at public sale has gone heavy and lower; we should say that the prices on an average all round are lid. per lb. lower now than these of last sale. Spices have been drooping. Rice has been easier. Rum has receded a little. Cocoa is without variation. The imports have been very light all the week. The cause of the pre. sent dulness in the markets perplexes many persons, as we always cx, pect to be busy at this season of the year. For next week there is very little business advertised at present. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 6. The sales of this day amount to 3,500 bags, which met with pur. chasers at our last quotations. The market still continues quiet, and we close the week with a flat tone. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING THE WEEK. l'er Quarter. Wheat. i Barley. Oats. Beans. Pease.

Although this information was known I❑ Paris, the Spanish Funds fell about 1 % per cent., not on account of any unfavourable news being received from the Queen's troops, but •wing to the loan not being favourably received by the speculators in London.

It asserts on the authority of the Central Committee, that at the present period not less than 40,000 persons in the city of New York are dependent on the hand of charity for their daily supplies of food and fuel ; in one ward there are 2:10 German families entirely destitute."

GREY, brought up the report of the Committee on the Negro Emancipation Act Amendment Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE objected to the 13Th Clause of the Bill, which exempted the special Magistrates from costs in cases where verdicts were had against tem. There might be cases, although rare, in which special Magistrates were disposed to act unjustly, and he thought the exemption should be con fined to those cases in which the Governor would think it right to interfere. Sir GEORGE GREY objected to fixing such a limit to the power of the Governor ; and in such cases he thought there ought to be a power in the Governor to award costs. Mr. GL AD STON E agreed in the propriety of giving the Governor power to relieve the special magistrates from costs. Mr. HOWARD did not think th© remuneration given to the special magistrates was sufficient to compensate them for residing in so deadly and unhealthy a climate to Europeans. And this country, having g ranted 20,000,0001. to the planters, would not object to a small addition to the salaries of these gentlemen. Sir G. GREY proposed that a clause should be added ex plaining that it was only the apprentices subject to the Act of 1833 that were to be subject to this Act.—Agreed to. The Report was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. POOR LAW LOANS BILL. The Report upon this Bill was received. The Custody of Insane Persons (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and the Bill was ordered to be reported on Monday, after a few observations from Mr. WAKLEY and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland. Behren's Naturalization Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday. Mr. ASHTON YATES moved for a return from the West India Colonies of the number and names of the estates on which piece or task work had been introduced, with the view of ascertaining the progress made from slave to free la bour. The Hon. Member was proceeding to read a letter from Antigua on the subject, when an intimation was given that no opposition would be offered to the returns. Sir GEORGE GREY said there would be no objection to the returns moved for, if the information could be procured. Lord MORPETH presented several petitions, praying for an alteration in the Factories Regulation Act, as far as related to the trade in woollen cloth. The Noble Lord then pre sented a petition from Kilmurry and other places, for the abo lition of tithes; a petition from St. Katherine, Dublin, for an alteration in the Grand Jury Laws ; and a petition from certain medical practitioners in Dublin, in favour of an increase in the number of officers to medical institutions. Mr. WAKLE Y presented a petition from 850 inhabitants of Stirling, for an unconditional repeal of the duties on the importation of foreign corn. The House then adjourned. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HULL. The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, when Mr. HILDYARD addressed them in support of the vote of Richard Davis, which was under consideration when the Com mittee adjourned last night. The Committee struck off the vote. John Percival was next objected to. He was proved to have been present at thejner-shop, and at the Swan, at Barton, when Mr. Cattley was there, and that he partook of the re freshments. He also breakfasted and dined at the Humber Tavern with the rest of the party. It appeared that his wife or family were not present at the Humber Tavern, although the voter was present at the Swan when a general invitation was given. , On this ground Mr. THEISIGER submitted that the vote was a good one ; for, although it might be consi dered a corrupt offer, it could not extend to the party to whom it was offered, unless he actually accepted the invitation. The Committee struck off the vote. Edward Thompson was next objected to. The evidence was nearly the same as in the last case. The Committee struck off the vote. LEICESTER. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, when Mr. TUES. NIGER stated that in consequence of the absence of Mr. Biggs, the agent of the Sitting Members, who was out of the country, it would only be a waste of time to proceed with the case of the petitioners. The Committee then resolved that the Sitting Members were duly elected, and the petition not frivolous or vexatious. WICKLOW. The Committeee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. CHARLES Wool) in the Chair. Mr. TIIESSIGER opened the case for the petitioners. and commenced by stating the numbers at the close of the poll, as follows : Mr. Grattan Mr. Howard 696 Colonel Acton 623 Majority The petitioners complained that this was a colourable ma• jority, that improper votes had been admitted, and that parties had been allowed to exercise the franchise who had no title thereto. Before, however, they came to inquire into these facts, they would have to raise the all-important and often disputed question of opening the registry, which he was sure the Committee would never consider in the light of a sealed book. The only business which they would have to transact to-day was to prove the poll-books, which he would now pro ceed to do. On Monday a vote would be put up for the purpose of raising the question of opening the registry. Mr. AUSTIN raised some objections to the proof given of the poll-books ; but after hearing Counsel on both sides, the Committee decided in favour of the proof. The Committee adjourned shortly after two o'clock, to Monday morning. KINSALE. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the case of Richard Doyle, which was under consideration when the Committee adjourned yesterday; the vote was retained. James Weekes was next objected to by the sitting member, on the ground of iusuflicient value. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The trial of B. Myers, forarson, Wasproceeding; and from the number of witnesses to be examined, and the intricate nature of the case, was not likely to be concluded till a late hour. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) ROBBERY AT TRH EARL OF CHARLENIONT'S.—Mary Dobic was in dieted for stealing fourteen table cloths, a quantity of napkins, and other linen, a " volunteer" sword, and different other articles, the property of the Right Hon. the Earl of Charlemont, to whom she was a servant, and Richard Dobie, her husband, was indicted for feloniously receiving said property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. DOANE for the prisoners. William Haining, inspector of the C division deposed, that on the 2`2.d March last, he went to the lodgings of the male prisoner, and informed him that he had gone there for the purpose of searching his boxes. Ile offered no opposition but quietly gave up his keys. On opening the first box, he found the sword now produced, and a great quantity of linen. In reply to a question put to him by witness, the prisoner stated that the sword had been given to him about a year before, by a groom of his Lordship, who had gone to France. He then asked him how he came by a damask table cloth, in which the arms of his Lordship were interwoven ; he said that his wife knew all about that. Witness took charge of the property, and suffered the prisoner to remain at large. His wife was questioned about the table cloth, and said that Mrs. Clarke, the housekeeper, who was then in Dub lin, had given it to her. William Robinson, butler to his Lordship, was next called, and stated that the female prisoner had lived in the family for many years. She did not leave it till the 23d of last month. The Earl was in Ire land when the robbery was committed. His Lordship's town residence is in Lower Grosvenor-street. James Griffiths deposed that he had been in the service of the Fail up to February last. Recollects cleaning the sword in question about Christmas. lie greased it to prevent its rusting, and gave it the female prisoner to take up to his Lordship's room. Never made her a present of it. Mrs. Charlotte Clarke, the housekeeper, was next called, and stated that the table cloth now produced was one of a set made specially for the Earl, and his arms and coronet were in the watermark, The cloth had been very little used, and she certainly never made a present of it to the female prisoner. Identified several other articles which were produced as being the property of his Lordship. By ME. DOANE—When linen had been much worn it was not unusual to give it to the under servants, but the articles produced were not in a condition to justify such a gift. The Earl of Charlernont (who was seated on the Bench during the whole of the time) was next examined. He stated that ale indictment had properly described his names and titles. He is a Peer of that pert of the United Kingdom called Ireland. Both the prisoners entered his service in the year 1830 ; but having no longer occasion for a body groom, he had recommended the male prisoner as coachman to another Nobleman. He had always entertained a high opinion of both of them, and great confidence was reposed in the woman. Mr. DOANE briefly addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoners. The RECORDER recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoners guilty. Mr. PHILIPPS would mention one circumstance which he hail pre. viously abstained from doing, lest it should have the effect of at all pre_ judicing the case of the prisoners Lord Charlemont had been robbed of jewellery to the amount of 3,000/., within the last few months. Now, he hoped that, if the prisoners knew anything about it, they would at this, the eleventh hour, make some atonement to justice, by disclosing it. The RECORDER sentenced both the prisoners to transportation for seven years. A new crater has been formed on Vesuvius, and an eruption is daily expected. The road between Rome ani Salerno has bee n stoppe d b y the fa l l i ng d own o f p ar t o f a mountain which hung over it. 34 40 37 42 35 40 - - - TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. has been reported in many Papers of the 3d at April, that a man named Mara Dembriki, calling himself a Polish Refugee, has been brought before the Magistrate, charged with having created a disturbance at the residence of Lady Carysfort, and that in consequence of statements proving his exceedingly violent conduct in such circumstances, and an assault on Lady Caryfort's porter, he has been fined 31., or one month's imprisonment. After sudi a report we think it our duty to inform the public, that the aforesaid individual, whose name by the wily is Jaxa Dembicki, has long since, through his misconduct en and incorrigibleness, lost all title to the esteem of his cou ntr y m. who have covered Lim with ignominy and censure, and tha tt they formally disown and decline every responsibility in thl. acts of a person who has long since forfeited the right °' calling himself a Polish Refugee. We seize, moreover, this occasion to apprise the Eng lish public, that there arc many such like individuals, who, en sconcing themselves under the title of Polish Refugee , r ini over all Great Britain to make the best of the symPatll awarded by the English people to the cause of Poland, or rather are sent by our enemies through the British Empire to tire and fatigue their generous feelings, and thereby to extinguish them. We beg the English public will be persuaded that n h^n rrhon;i t love of their country has driven to all kind of sacrifices, and to the greatest of all, exile, are not to be easily tempted i nt° t • a mean and petty sort of knavery or ill behaviour in the net , begging. There are, it is true, some usurping the name of Polish Refugees, and whose conduct is infamous, but we re peat and maintain, that they never were, arc, nor shall be Polish Refugees, but only miserable counterfeits.

Mr. Cart, a gentleman but (as yet) little known to the public, S 4 ‘ a l the first of a series of musical soirees on Tuesday eveming last igs the above rooms. The principal vocalists were Mrs. A. Sh aw, Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, and Mr. John Parry. The instrumental P" formers were Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Cart, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. 1 3 . 1 ": grove. Of the vocalists we will say but little, our space n ot admit" ; it. Miss Birch sang with her usual skill and sweetness ; g"" Shaw's ballad " The Stranger of Erin," a manuscript, was most tifully and effectively sang; the latter verse especially, which C'.ie„ forth great applause. The leading feature, however, was conccnt as ra l Er; in the performance of Mr. Cart, who appears for the first tune er Elute player) before a London audience. From the favourable itt.,-, given of his performances at Newcastle, and other provincial towns , , were led to anticipate a superior specimen of performance on that :7, strument, and our anticipations were fully realized. The tone produ by that gentleman was of a most beautiful description, an d far elcr wel that of his competitor (Mr. Richardson), but his executio n was not, _ . should say, strictly speaking, equal to that of Mr. Ric hardson. an ir _ r t Blagrove's performance on the violin was of the best description, the conclusion he was warmly applauded.

The intended move of the 15th Hussars from Lee ds to Gies; gow does not look very like "first Cavalry Regiment for Indite and many arc now inclined to suk;pect that the 10th is tu regiment selected for the East.
